Skins A200 Men's Long Sleeve Compression Top

First off...Im giving 5 stars because of the design quality of this garment even though the sizing upset me. The torso section is the part that primarily changes with the garment and the arms do not scale quite the same as like UA and Nike etc (though even they have their troubles) but much leaner style. The XL was a tiny bit loose around midsection but my arms were to tight for the sleeves, the Large was the same way just tighter around the core but the arms were much the same(to small). In defense of the sizing I think its the sport or body type that is the issue here. A lean soccer player, runner, swimmer etc would likely be much better off depending on upper body development.Again great product just my two cents is if you have a pretty developed upper body and through arms just be carefulsizing note I'm about 220 @ 6'2" - waist about 31" and the XL was slightly loose but the L was spot on for lower core.Good luck train hard.

I bought this after getting the A200 long tights. I do not know if they really help with weight lifting performance during the activity, but they are great for recovery. I know they sell recovery gear, but they are too expensive. I did not buy these especially for recovery, but they work perfect for me in that aspect. After power lifting at the gym, I shower then wear while I sleep or just chill. I usually wear them for about 12 hours. Sometimes I forget to take them off, because they are actually very comfortable once you get used to the compression. I have noticed a significant reduction in soreness and much faster recovery from hard workouts. The moisture wick aspect is great, thus sweating in them is not a problem. If it is cold I would not depend on them for much warmth; they are very thin.

Very, very comfortable compression shirt that never, ever gets uncomfortable. It looks really awesome too. In fact, the A200 looks superior to the A400 by a wide margin. The bright SKINS logo on the ends of the sleeves looks absolutely terrific. As does the yellow piping on the shirt's seems. Those on the A400 may be reflective, but they're way too small. For the additional cost of the A400, those logos should be of equal size as those found on this shirt. Not only do I highly recommend this shirt, I plan on purchasing another. My one and only complaint is thet the hem is about a foot longer than it needs to be.

Provides what I need during my workouts, tight compression with sufficient flexability. I have worn this eight times so I cannot comment on durability. My workout is circuit training using both weights and body weight. I purchased the Large size and it fits well. I am 6'1" 210 pounds, 34 inch waist, and 43/44 chest and past 50 years old. I have been using Adidas compression shirts (3) previously and the only difference I have noticed is that the Skins shirt is tighter around the stomach (a good thing). Purchased this shirt based on research, ratings, and reviews. I thought the price was a little high until I saw what sporting goods companies were charging. Assuming I do not have an issue with durability, I would recommend this shirt.

I did a 16 mile hike in Mt. Mitchell this past weekend wearing these and the matching tights. I had a flannel shirt over it, with a sweater and an outer shell and the entire strenuous hike between 15-25F going up to an altitude of 6400 feet my core and arms remained at a steady, comfortable temperature. At no point did I need to take a layer off or add a layer, or even notice the temperature.Every area of my body that was covered by Skins was comfortable and it absolutely helped reduce any resulting muscle pain. I could not be more impressed with these and will be ordering additional pairs!

Oh wait . . . I can't breathe . . . phew . . . I'm OK now. Damn that's some compression. If you need a reason to go on a diet just get one of these tops. UGH wait my hand is turning blue . . . anybody have a scissors! Seriously compresses and not bad after a workout to keep it all together. I like.

I purchased these for jiu-jitsu spats under my gi and love the fit, compression and comfort. I'm 6'4" at 200 pounds and was borderline on the sizing chart between Medium and Large. I recommend following their suggestion to size down if you want the support. Its more of an effort to put them on than regular spats because of the sizing and compression but once on you don't notice at all. Great product!

After looking at the sizing on Skins website a large was recommended. What a mistake. I returned it and got a xl instead and im a happy camper. Still difficult to take off but doesn't squeeze too tightly.

Verwende das Skins Langarm-Kompressionshirt zum Laufen, als "base layer" unter der Laufjacke. Wenn's dann hoffentlich wieder wärmer wird werde ich darüber wohl nur mehr ein kurzes Laufshirt anziehen.Das Material fühlt sich beim ersten Angreifen eher wie Plastik an. Es sitzt sehr eng, wie ein Kompressions-Shirt nun mal sitzen sollte - das An- und Ausziehen stellt für mich kein Problem dar. Was habe ich da im Netz schon für Schauergeschichten gelesen, dass man da 10 min. braucht, am besten noch 2 Helfer usw., völliger Unsinn! Dass man für ein Kompressionsshirt halt ein bisschen länger braucht zum Anziehen ist klar, man muss es danach auch noch ein bisschen zurechtzupfen, bis es wirklich angenehm sitzt. Die Nähte sind leider nicht "seamless", gerade kurz nach dem Anziehen spüre ich sie speziell am Rücken (das spürt sicher jeder anders), jedoch nach 1,2 Minuten in Bewegung vergesst man das, stellt somit kein Problem dar, trotzdem gibt's dafür von mir 1 Punkt Abzug.Es stützt den Oberkörper, sorgt für eine aufrechtere Haltung, und gibt ein gutes Tragegefühl, man "fühlt" sich stäker und schneller ;-) Das spürt man insbesondere gleich nach dem Anziehen, je länger die Tragedauer, desto mehr gewöhnt man sich daran, und es kommt einen dann ganz normal vor. Es macht mich wahrscheinlich nicht schneller, aber ich finde dass gerade bei langen Laufstrecken durch die bessere Körperhaltung weniger Ermüdungserscheinungen auftreten - oder vielleicht ist es auch wegen der besseren Form die ich durch das regelmäßige Lauftraining bekommen habe, ich weiß es nicht ;-)Des weiteren ist positiv hervorzuheben, dass es sehr rasch trocknet.Der Preis ist sehr hoch, hier bei Amazon gerade noch vertretbar.

Been looking for a Skins product for a while and finally decided on this. my first test was a 60 mile bikeride around london for charity at night. All I can say is that this thing rocked!Be sure to check the sizing guides thoroughly as you need to get a perfect fit, to tight and you'll be compressed to smithereeens and to loose and it wont work properly. I'm of a slightly skinny build and anout 6' 2" so got a large and it fits perfectly. A bit awkward to get off and on but once there its like a second skin. Hence the name i guess!The material has the amazing ability to keep you warm under a top layer and when I finished at 9am the sun was blaring yet the top kept me cooler than if I wasnt wearing it.I'm not so sure about the spiel with it keeping your mucles compressed and having less fatigue but it definately wicked away all the sweat making sure I didnt catch a chill when I stopped, and the way it hugs the body certainly sent chills up my spine.All in all definately worth the price and it'll perform better than most tops of its kind. I think I might but another one actually!

A parer mio questa è il top delle maglie tecniche a compressione.Perfetta per correre a tutte le temperature tra gli 8-10 e i 20-25 gradi.Sotto i 6 gradi invece meglio optare per una maglia termica

I feel like a marvel heroNovelty though, not saying don't get it just think about what it will do for you.My purchase was a result of; winter cold, skins recommendations and the need for a base layer.Wickers your heat making you cold unless you have a layer with it (Fantastic heat retention with a jumper, not exaggerating) or start running.It has a polyester armpit, the stitching rubs unless you put it on right which is hard as it's TIGHT!A good base layer, don't be that guy wearing it as a tight top to show off your muscles. I've seen a guy who looked average but was a beached whale in this top. "You gutta be lean to wear just this top!"

Les hauts sont vraiment adaptés pour aller avec un bas SKINS, en effet la longueur est parfaite pour recouvrir le collant ou le bermuda.La bande silicone maintien bien le maillot tout le temps de la course.Idéal pour le temps frais +10°à + 15°C lors de course de durée d'environ 1h.En dessous de 10°C adapté pour des courses plus intensives ou plus longues.Pour la taille, je pensai avoir un peu moins de compression en prenant un taille XL sur la base de commentaires clients.Après une sortie par temps frais, d'une part le ressenti et le maintien ne sont pas les mêmes qu'avec une taille L.La différence porte sur le moins bon maintien au niveau des avant-bras, de l'abdomen, et un froid sur les bras et sur le haut du dos.La grille du fabricant est vraiment bien faite.Comme pour mes maillots précédents, je confirme qu'il faut bien choisir la taille correspondant à l'IMC de SKINS.La livraison s'est effectuée dans un temps plus court que prévu.
